1 weeks worth of fun!

First of all In-n-Out finally opened so my friend and I decided that we were going to go on the first day. It was a dumb idea, We loaded up all of our kids and waited in the drive thru line for 45 minutes to get a hamburger. We pretty much laughed at ourselves the whole time. It tasted good though and we are part of the cool In-n-Out club now RIGHT? You uppity California and Nevada people know what I mean.
Stu had to do some training for his job up north and so we went with him last Wed. I swear we make that drive every other week, but I love seeing everyone.
My family and Stu's family threw Braden ANOTHER birthday party. (He was pretty spoiled) We went to dinner with Stu's cousins from Sacramento, shopped at Ikea, had a few game nights and watched a lot of NBA playoffs (ugh). Overall we had a good time and just got back on Sunday! Here's some pics from the week of fun.

Our baseball obsessed boys! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for the baseball stuff!

P.S. I don't think I've mentioned yet that Josslyn walks around everywhere. She is still pretty small and she looks like she shouldn't be walking. It's funny! Also, if anyone has tips on how to do baby girls hair I am open for suggestions. As you can see she is a bit of a mess.

7th Birthday

It's hard for me to believe that I am old enough to have a 7 year old, but it's true. It's sad when your kids birthday's start making you feel old too...Like my birthday isn't enough!

We spent the weekend celebrating Brade's birthday. He had a biking birthday party with his friends and cousins. It was an obstacle course for bikes. (Stu painted the street and over saw the whole party...I was sooooo glad to have him around to keep the kids entertained.) Also, our neighbor was a SUPER big help. I am so grateful to be surrounded by awesome people!

On a lighter note...

COLD POOL...LET'S DO IT TOGETHER!

So now that my vent fest is over, I want to focus on the more positive side of my life.

One of my favorite things in the world are visitors! This week is spring break for some of Stu's side of the family and they decided to come down to the warm weather. We are lucky that we live here and get to be part of all of their fun. Thanks for including us guys!

Girl Cousins!

LOSING MY MIND

This Post is for venting purposes...so skip it if you want.

Yesterday I LOST it...I know that this never happens to any of you but sometimes I just get crazy and end up on the phone with Stu bawling my eyes out. 4 kids is hard, and keeps me busy,but they weren't even the problem. I don't even know how to express what I am really feeling. I feel just like Joss looks in this picture;

exposed, cold, mad, a bit sad maybe!

I have had many experiences the last couple of years regarding money where people haven't been true to their word. (Yesterday being one of them.) It's amazing the lack of integrity I have seen. I hope to have my mind changed, but as for now I am convinced that there are more dishonest than honest in the world. Sad! If you have any words of wisdom for me than please share. I hate feeling like the only person that these kind of things happen to.
